That's exactly what you need to ask yourself.

In my case, I had a collection of media files (movie, docu and music) as well as a number of dvds that I wanted to watch. But watching on my PC was so unsatisfying.

I also had a 40" LCD sitting downstairs, so I wanted to see the HD stuff on a larger screen (although only 720p, 1080p LCDs were sooo expensive).

Do the sums...

anybody gottena nother new unit?

im still waiting for my DVD drive to arrive

New unit of what??

what is the current price for 4100sh now?
i went to memory world@sls today, the price of the unit was still selling sgd669 w/o hdd

Price is more or less the same. Do they still offer the free tuner and HDMI cable?

I have the Acer SlimLine PC next to my Bravia 32" LCD
I'm using as both divX & rmvb player and torrent server

Announcement...

This month w_w.ideatools.com.my offering Dvico Tvix 4100 for RM1440 w/o tuner. Go for it. As I understand there's new model coming out (Tivx 6500SH) early this year.

But I just manage to get one from other dealer with Tvix 4100SH + tuner for RM1450. Incredible machine with multi capable playback. With HDMI, the 4100SH will meet most of my current requirements. ( A media storage, Media Player and DVB-T Tuner)

For other divx fans, who interested to purchased Tivx better buy in bulk it may save RM. As new model arrive, the price 4100 will go down soon.

FYI- This set being used by most branded tv manufacturer for displaying their HD LCD tv at commercial centers. Just check at Jusco's.


any Tvix comments ?

Yep.. saw Panasonic put a sticker on the TVIX

guys sorry to steal the thread. It seems to me Dvico is expensive if compared to PS3 40G. Both also can do streaming. I guess PS3 also can play those video format once the firmware is ready ??

I think this thread is beginning to stray.

The thread topic is "Dvico TViX media player owner, pls come in". Hence, please comment if (a) you own one or (b) are interested in, or thinking of getting one, or © use something which has a similar function and want to compare notes. That's how we can all learn from our experiences of using such devices.

And as was posted earlier, we buy for what we see meets our needs. In the case of the Dvico stuff, it is to play back media files, from audio to SD and HD video, either from onboard hard disk, USB disk or via network streaming. I think we are capable of deciding whether the device is worth our money, and do not need to be told that this is too expensive! This is not a Trade Zone topic...

Please dont compare with the gamers and a/v enthusiast. This is a dedicated machine for a/v not for games, and do not compare the price with other game machine. I do agree that PS3 soon will have this ability but it will be limited capability as compared to dvico.

As price concern, this machine was design in korea and manufactured in China thus will minimsed the cost. New Firmware support released almost everymonth.

Guys this is the ultimate machine for a/v crazyness.

To kick off the new focussed discussion, I find that I have problems playing back some normal SD avi files, where the audio and video don't seem to sync. It's ok when I play them on my PC. So far, the temporary fix is to convert these avi files to Divx, but it's tedious if you have 6 seasons of Family Guy to convert! Plus others...

Anyone have any experience/ideas/fixes for this?

Anyone interested in setting up a media exchange for HD stuff?

Exchanging illegal stuff is not allowed in LYN... bear in mind ya.

Of course not, we would never do that.

I just wondered if there were any other enthusiasts out there who could share their knowledge or any other stuff... lol

panny passes the tvix box to most of their dealers, but its the 4000 model
i saw one in jaybee the other day, they dun even know it can be connected to a tuner for rm 300 to receive HD5, instead they were selling their own HD tuner for rm 1.3k

kkm, avi files + mp3 audio ?

ccschua, i have the ps3 as well, but tis is 2 very different things, i think it would better if u hold on until ur so call fw upgrade then only decide, from wat i think, there are certain formats which i think PS3 will never play

yup. i also have ps3, but i still need looking for 1 universal media player box that can easily access from my family.
i think ps3 is pretty good liao but not all the formats that it can perform 100% compatible.
